Intoxilyzer Calibration Check
Miss. Code Ann. ยง 63-11-19 requires that calibration checks be performed at least once a quarter
on breath alcohol instruments. The calibration checks of Intoxilyzer 8000 instruments are
performed when an instrument is installed or removed from a location, when a dry gas ethanol
standard is changed and with each breath test. The quarterly calibration checks are performed
remotely by the Implied Consent Section of the Mississippi Crime Laboratory or designee. These
are recorded on Form IP-16E. Certifiers of calibration perform calibration checks on
instruments: a) when they are installed, b) removed from a location if possible, and C) when a
dry gas ethanol standard is changed. These calibration checks are recorded on Form IP-03E. The
calibration checks performed with each breath test are automatically performed by the instrument
during the breath test sequence. These calibration check results are recorded on each breath test
on Form IP-01E.
